Yes, thank you, I did get the email.

Ok, here are a few notes on the installation in case it helps anyone.

Perhaps the readme could have a specific example (the exact unix
commands) in addition to the general discussion. I have included the
commands I used.

I tried to download the readme file with wget but it failed with

However I downloaded the tarball successfully with wget, and the readme
was also inside it.

I am running Debian unstable amd64
  uname -a says
  Linux bed 2.6.22-3-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 4 18:18:09 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is how I installed it:

   su (to become root)
   mv <where I downloaded it>/Swift*.tgz /usr/local
   cd /usr/local
   tar -xzvf Swift*.tgz
   ln -sf /usr/local/SwiftForth/bin/sf /usr/local/bin/
   ln -sf /usr/local/SwiftForth/bin/sfk /usr/local/bin/

Then as a normal user, I was able to start it with

   sf

and

   locate .s

worked.

That plus adding a few numbers and displaying the stack is all I've
tried so far.
